The Chaocipher Clearing House
Progress Report #8
Jeff
Hill on "A Feasible Mechanism for the 1918 Byrne Cryptograph"
This
morning I received an e-mail from reader Jeff Hill with a most
interesting attachment: material from
his presentation at the American Cryptogram
Association's (ACA) 1990 convention in Montreal.
Jeff, a former ACA member (with the nom de plume of E E
REMINGTON) presented his Chaocipher-related findings to other
members at the convention. Today's e-mail brought Jeff's updated
document entitled "A Feasible Mechanism for the
1918 Byrne Cryptograph" complete with related
diagrams and drawings. Here are links to Jeff's items:
(For
those of you with back issues of The Cryptogram (the journal of the ACA
published every two months), check out the January-February 1991 issue
for pictures of Jeff at the Montreal convention.)
I
want to thank Jeff for agreeing to share this wonderful contribution
via the Chaocipher Clearing House. His excellent and
scholarly addition now joins existing open literature
references on the fascinating subject of machine
cryptography.
